11My heart makes songs on lonely roadsMy heart makes songs on lonely roads
22to comfort me while you are awayTo comfort me while you're away,
33and strives with lovely sounding wordsAnd strives with lovely sounding words
44its crowded tenderness to sayIts crowded tenderness to say.
55yet I am glad that love has comeGlimmering against the forward dark,
66to bind me fast, and try my worthYour face I see with pride, with pain
77for love's a powerful lord and givesSo that one time I did desire
88his friends dominion over the earth.Never to see that face again.
99I walk deserted ways and seeBut I am glad that Love has come
1010against the forward dark your faceTo bind me fast and try my worth;
1111Pale glimmering against the dark:For Love's a powerful Lord and gives
1212Your face I see with pride, and painHis friends dominion over the earth.
13So that, one turn, I did desire
14Never to see that face again.
